I learn a new technique (at least one) in every class I take. I love to learn new techniques and then morph them into different ideas to use on assorted projects that I tackle. One day it dawned on me that it is as rare as hen's teeth to find classes that are offered on technique only. No project. Just learn the technique.
The brain-child of "The Bunger School of Needle Arts" was born. I call it Needle Arts instead of Needlepoint because the techniques (all of which can be used on your needlepoint canvases) originate from a multitude of needle art disciplines.
Bunger School is your ticket to fine-tuning your technique or learning new techniques. Each class is designed to concentrate on one specific technique or stitch. Each class is packed with information. There is no project to finish and you can even bring your supplies from home saving a kit fee. Work the class at your own speed or just take notes and don't even stitch. If you ever wanted an opportunity to pick the brain of the teacher on certain subjects, here's your chance. Call (901) 458-6109 or email Amys3808@aol.com to attend the next Bunger School.
The Bunger School of Needle Arts will be offered in 4-day seminars. Each seminar will offer eight 2 1/2 -hour classes. Each class within a seminar will be on a different technique, design lesson or stitch type. Cost of each seminar is $275.00 which includes eight mini-classes and lunch each day for four days.
$100.00 non-refundable deposit is required to hold your place in class.
